    A. - $ 7,920

    Explanation:

    We multiply each age-group of accounts by the percent of uncollectible amount within the group

    62,000 x 2% = 1,240

    44,000 x 4% = 1,760

    25,000 x 11% = 2,750

    7,000 x 51% = 3,570

    Total year-end allowance: 9,320

    less current balance: (1,400)

    year-end adjustment 7,920

    This will be the amount we have to adjust the allowance and the bad debt expense to be recognize over the year
